Rooibos - the RED TEA from South Africa
In South Africa Rooibos tea is fondly known as "Bush Tea" and is consumed by the old and young, rich and poor and now all over the world as a caffeine free alternative to regular tea.
Those who have not yet tried this tea for it's beautiful ruby colour, its affordability and wonderful taste, should consider the following:-
• Rooibos Tea is a herbal tea that tastes like a regular tea:
It is prepared from the leaves of the herb Aspalathus Linearis.
Regular black and green tea is made with the Camellia Sinensis plants leaves
• Rooibos is unique to South Africa:
It is produced only in the Cape of Good Hope, South Africa. Rooibos (pronounced “roy-boss”) is an Afrikaans word meaning “red bush”, referring to the garnet colour of the herb leaves after fermentation.
• Rooibos is known as to boost general health
The health benefits of Rooibos for both adults and children are quite remarkable!
• Rooibos contains NO caffeine:
Even decaffeinated green tea has 30mg of caffeine per cup!
• Rooibos has a wonderful flavour:
It does not taste like a herbal tea at all - only like a sweeter version of regular teas. Rooibos has no bitter aftertaste - no matter how long it is left to brew!
• Rooibos is an everyday / anytime beverage:
It can be enjoyed throughout the day - primarily because it is an excellent thirst quencher
Rooibos can be served clear or with cream and sugar/honey, according to your usual preference.
Served as iced tea, it is absolutely delicious!• Rooibos is very versatile.

Rooibos! It is so delicious, I can hardly describe it. We have so many rooibos flavors available, it's hard to choose a favorite. Our herb tea that we like the most is rooibos orange spice. We also love rooibos spiced plum and rooibos vanilla.
It makes such a smooth, soothing cup of herb tea. It is relaxing and enjoyable to drink. I love that it makes me feel full and I eat less :- ) Yay!
My youngest son loves herb tea, and it settles down the hyperness in him. Maybe because he has to stir and sip it slowly, and it becomes a rhythm and motion for him.
We all drink herb tea, any flavor, when we're not feeling well. It always seems to cure what ails us. It is a great way to cut phlegm after a cold as well. Nothing goes down quite so well as a warm cup of liquid.
Speaking of that, I do think I will go make a cup to drink before I go to bed tonight.
